That's not a T-72M1
by the way, I'd like to ask if there's any documental evidence of using CH1000 transmission in 99A? I mean, it's obvious, there're a lot of articles stating CH-1000 transmission on 99A, even wiki, howewer, without documental proofs. Therefore, I wanted to be clarified, but is there any documents where the installation of such a transmission would be mentioned so that then not to prove other basic provisions?
We now observe a total of 6 (5.5) combind arms brigades equipped with ZTZ-99A. That means the number of ZTZ-99A in service exceeds the number of ZTZ-99.
And it was started by me
Howewer, still looking for more documental evidences
Today I heard from a Turkish analyst that the Chinese tank engines were extremely unreliable. He claimed their average lifespan was less than 1000 hours. The said analyst is a knowledgeable and respected person so I don't think he is lying. But I think he is misinformed as I couldn't find evidence supporting this. Do any of you have knowledge?
being Chinese is the original sin of all, and there are no China expert outside of china, also maybe at least include the reference, who is the analyst and what evidence is his claim based on ?
His name is Kozan S. Erkan. He is a naval architect himself. He is not an anti-China person BTW. In fact, most of his content on China is very positive. I asked him his resources.
